Study of the Post-canonical Pali Literature in Comparison with Sinhalese Materia

人们发现，到目前为止，在对治疗的研究中。佛教，佛教的本土文学。佛教国家在每个国家之外的研究很少。对于僧伽罗佛教文学，除了概述戈达库姆布拉的《僧伽罗文学史》外，也不例外。然而，在中世纪的斯里兰卡（12至15世纪），文学活动是由僧伽罗佛教徒热情地开展的，因此，翻译的P. li . a. hakath。编写了僧伽罗语词汇（sannaya， gatapadaya等），并撰写了各种主题的原创作文。在本研究项目中，重点研究了以下几部作品：《萨达玛拉坦》。卡拉亚，尼克。yasa。grahaya和Saddharm。ka。莱雅。通过对这些文本的考证和史学研究，证实了北方或Mah的显著特征。可以看到，这些特征曾经传入斯里兰卡，并在那里蓬勃发展，尽管官方宣称它已经被萨罗人消灭了。在12世纪进行了统一。除了这些研究之外，在前往德国进行研究的途中，我们能够创建一个保存在哥廷根大学图书馆的1000多本古老僧伽罗语印刷书籍（从1800世纪末到20世纪中期出版）的清单，这些书籍是已故教授Heinz Bechert收藏的一部分。此外，通过在斯里兰卡境内及周边地区的研究旅行，我们可以获得更多的书籍，这些书籍似乎只有在岛上才能找到，我们还拍摄了古老寺庙中佛教叙事的壁画。其中发现了一些故事的图片，这些故事没有出现在真正的P. li正典文献中，但在北方佛教徒中却很有名。目前已对拍摄的大量照片进行了分析和整理，并上传到如下网站。

It has been found that, so far, in the study of Therav. da or P. li Buddhism, the indigenous literature of Therav. da Buddhist countries has been little studied outside of each country. As for the Sinhala Buddhist literature, except for the overview of Godakumbura's History of the Sinhalese Literature, it is also not an exception. However, in Sri Lanka in the Middle Ages(12th to 15th century), literary activities were enthusiastically carried out by the Sinhalese Buddhists, and so the translation of the P. li a. hakath. s, P. li-Sihalese word lexicons(sannaya, gatapadaya, etc.), and also the original compositions on various topics were made. In this research project, the focus was concentrated on the following works, the Saddharmaratn. karaya, the Nik. yasa. grahaya, and the Saddharm. ka. k. raya. Through the textual and historical studies of these texts, it was confirmed that the salient traits of Northern or Mah. yana Buddhism can be seen, traits which had once been introduced and had flourished in Sri Lanka, even though officially it was to have been wiped out by the Sa. gha Reunification in the 12th century. In addition to these studies, on trips to Germany for the purpose of research, we were able to create a list of more than 1,000 old Sinhalese printed books(published from the end of 1800' century to the mid-20th century) kept in the University of Gottingen's library, which make up part of a collection by late Professor Heinz Bechert. Also, through research trips in and around Sri Lanka, we could obtain further books which seem available only on the island, and we photographed of mural paintings of Buddhist narratives in the old temples. Among them were found pictures of stories not included in authentic P. li canonical literature, but, nevertheless well known in the Northern Buddhists. The numerous photographs taken have now been analysed, and organized, and uploaded to the Website given below.
